1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2
Prepare Vegetables
While the chicken is marinating, chop the carrots, zucchini, and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

3
Sauté the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4
Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the chopped carrots, zucchini, and bell pepper. Sprinkle thyme over the vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
5
Combine and Serve
Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together gently and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through. Serve warm.
